Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared by cleaning, sanding (if necessary), and priming if the surface is particularly non-porous.

Coverage is less than expected.

Porous surfaces may absorb more paint. Apply additional coats as needed. Ensure you are applying the paint in thin, even coats.

Paint finish is not smooth.

Ensure you are using a quality brush or roller. Apply thin, even coats, and avoid overworking the paint. Lightly sand between coats if necessary.
